My 1st 1000 Kms: In a Day (Includes Kaas Flowers, Falls, Lakes & Forts)

[bhvm]

Visited Sajjangadh.
A spiritual place. It does not feel like a fort after climbing. There are mere 250 steps. And the scene on top is like a Bunch of temples, Aashrams and lakes. No sir, No palaces here. No cannons too.

The scene from top are quite nice.

The famous waterfalls of thosegar.
Falls were running quite ferociously even after monsoons were gone. The local authorities have worked hard to keep the place well maintained. Feels proud. There was information center, well paved tracks, Railings and all nice clean surroundings that I wish could see all over Indian tourist spots.

Nice travelogue bhvm. Traveled several times to Satara but never knew about "Baramotachi Vihir". Will definitely visit it after reading your comments.

Excellent pics and nice write up.
I had been to Sajjangad couple of times but wanting to visit Kaas pathar. Now seeing your beautiful pics will definitely plan the visit during next blooming season.
Had recently traveled to Davangere from Mumbai in my Ford Aspire and really the road conditions are excellent and the rumblers you mentioned are really very thoughtful and creative thing they made.
